  Excerpt:
  
  English singer Morrissey brought his crisp baritone and familiar, turmoil- filled lyrics to Amphi Shuni in the northern town of Binyamina Sunday night, and while all 1,350 seats of the restored Roman amphitheater were full to bursting with dedicated fans, Morrissey himself seemed a little, well, listless.

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

No idea. Most of them are fairly new material which I guess is the point you're trying to make. I'm only interested in how many times we HAVEN'T heard certain deep cuts and some of his best tracks live, and the fact we likely never will.

Yes I could see some folks in US,UK being disappointed. But he can’t please everyone.
Though what I’m saying is that people at tonight’s show probably haven’t see him in a while, and would be appreciative of any set he chooses to do.

Great set and stayed out of the political circus.the main thing everyone enjoyed, voice better than ever.
Slippers and pipe put away for another while

 

[ReadyWithReadyWit]

Girl from Telavive would be a hit. Don’t even mention “Israel” . I’d play all LIHS and call it a day

 

[gordyboy9]

plenty of new stuff in there,dont understand why people only want to hear old songs.
notre dame was the name of my high school,hopefully it will be decent.
looked like a very nice day for an open air concert,songs sung in the sun.

in the john wilson interview he said there are songs he will never sing again,could be sentimental or just his voice isnt suited to the songs anymore.

 

[dneuer]

hey hey hey, what are ya saying?

Ha! Don’t read too much into that. I’m pretty certain I’ve read here and/or elsewhere that Juan seems to have some scheduling conflicts with his other band(s). Doesn’t mean that’s reliable info. Brendan seems to be in high demand, as well. So, who knows? I REALLY don’t have any info to suggest there is a planned imminent departure for either.
Personally (again, total speculation), I wouldn’t be surprised if come next year there is a completely new band (aside from Jesse). Assuming there are going to be dates next year. The best thing Moz could do is take some time to think about what he really wants to accomplish and proceed accordingly. Maybe he’s totally cool with things as they are and will plow forward. And that’s his prerogative. It’s his career and in spite of the criticisms (justified or not), he is still going after all these years, fortunately.

 

[BookishBoy]

That's a solid 8/10 setlist, for me. I just wish he could stretch these shows out for another 20 mins (four or five songs) or so but if he can't, he can't.

 

[This Charming Bowie]

Oh god…Notre Dame lyrics apparently…

 

[Light Housework]

Darn it, I was hoping to see more footage of this concert. Guess I'll keep checking YouTube and here.

That's very true. We complainers are spoiled by gigs in UK/US, so that makes sense.

 

[Barney Rubble]

I’m not exactly the world’s biggest optimist, but to be fair, the band had to learn up dozens and dozens of songs prior to the last couple of tours starting in Vegas. Give the new players some time and maybe M will feel more comfortable playing different stuff assuming they will be required to do the same. I’m sure they’re more than capable, given time.

Sure, I think this it's reasonable in these circumstances that there haven't been wholesale changes to the setlist. Plus 99% of the audience in Israel won't have travelled abroad to see the most recent tour dates in other countries, so it will all be pretty fresh to them.

That said, I hope we get a few more changes by the time the tour hits the UK, as a lot of it is the same material as last time he played here.

More or less what I expected it to be about.
Hope the music is better. Isn’t this a song written by Alain?

Edit: just checked it and it is indeed a composition of Alain’s hand.

No

No label going to publish a song with these lyrics - nope sorry no chance

Let's hope not. Conspiracy theory alt-right lyrics are the last thing we need right now.

 

[BrokenFrame]

I'm desperate to hear the new song ASAP, anyone got it?

The song is available in full on the "Sweet and tender hooligans" Facebook group - perhaps someone is able to share it on here too



Generally quite a repetitive track with some matching string bends from Jessie, and a run of new background videos that feel like stock images but were probably shot by the nephew

The whole stage and band setup gives pretty odd vibes, but perhaps the new lineup is just settling in

Already getting some noise on Twitter, handful of comments including one from someone who frequents this site.

Nice try, but I see a message that it has been removed.

 

[Tom]

Wow, what a garbage set! I hope the locals enjoyed it, but imagine traveling for this? Is this what "40 Years of Morrissey" amounts to? How lazy, what a bore fest.

The Cure are out there playing 3 hour shows, filled with deep cuts and crowd pleasers, Morrissey can barely squeeze out 80 minutes of his tired, snooze fest of a set. Stick a fork in him already.
